Everest Base camp Trekking



EVERESTBASECAMPTREK

everest base camp
This is the “I want to see Everest, but I don’t have much time” trek. This trek is pushing the limits of acclimatization and conditioning. You need to be fit, have endurance, and have strong and flexible knee and ankle joints.
This trek, like all but one in the area, begins in Lukla and proceeds along the Dudh Koshi past Phakding to Namche Bazar. Normally a day is spent here for acclimatization and just soaking up the atmosphere of this bustling trade village. In this lower forested zone, birch, juniper, blue pines, firs, bamboo and rhododendron grow. From Namche you will go up the Dudh Koshi, then the Imja Khola to the Khumbu Glacier. The trail is dotted with Buddhist stupas, prayer walls, and prayer flags. All along the way are Sherpa settlements- some with monasteries. At Tengboche you can explore the singularly magnificent Buddhist monastery there and witness monks at prayer. Have your camera ready for the panoramic view of Everest at 8848m, Cho Oyu (8153m), Lhotse (8501m), Makalu (8463m), and Ama Dablam (6856m).
















Then, on day 9  it's off to the stark outpost of Gorak Shep and across the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base Camp at the foot of the Khumbu Icefall (pictured above), and one of the most spectacular views of your life. You then make a 5-day return trip to Lukla overnighting in different settlements from those on the trip up.
